Default Executing

I'm just playing around before I try and learn Visual Basics. Well. I am using this program called Source Edit. I downloaded a Source Code for a calcuator. Well, how do I make it executable?

You need a compiler. Run a Google search for compilers for whatever language your code is in.

VB6 and VB.NET include the compiler. A compiler takes your VB Statements and turns them into machine code. This allows you to take the compiled output and run it on any machine with or without VB.
